Anam Chara -- a now-closed Boulder home for the elderly that helped residents through aging and death -- and one of its administrators have been indicted on felony charges in Boulder County after investigators allege the home tried to cover up an incident in which a resident suffered extensive injuries and that staff were so poorly trained some of them had to look up treatments on YouTube.

In an indictment unsealed today, Claire Gordon -- an Anam Chara board member who was appointed as the facility's administrator in January 2012 -- was indicted on two charges of attempting to influence a public servant, two counts of tampering with evidence, one count of negligence causing serious bodily injury to an at-risk person, and one misdemeanor count of neglect of an at-risk victim.

Anam Chara and Anam Chara Boulder Waldorf LLC -- a wholly owned subsidiary of Anam Chara -- were each indicted on one count of negligence causing serious bodily injury to an at-risk person and one misdemeanor count of neglect of an at-risk victim.

According to court documents, in March 2013, a former Anam Chara resident with neuropathy -- a lack of sensation in his feet -- was given a tub of hot water from an electric teapot to soak his feet in and then left unsupervised by a former caretaker, Marlena Macarthur.

When Macarthur returned 15 to 20 minutes later, the hot water had caused the skin on the resident's foot to peel off, and the resident suffered scalding water burns and the amputation of four toes, according to the report.

Macarthur, 24, was charged with negligence causing serious bodily injury to an at-risk adult and ultimately was given a deferred sentence in the case and sentenced to 240 hours of community service in September.

But according to the indictment, a care plan maintained by Anam Chara did not state that the resident suffered from neuropathy, and that staff caring for him -- including Macarthur -- did not know about his condition and were not trained in how to care for a person with neuropathy.

The indictment alleges Gordon failed to report the incident to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment within 24 hours as required by state law, and that the victim's physician was the one who finally reported the injury.

According to the indictment, Macarthur was told by Gordon to complete an incident report, but when she turned it in was told by Gordon to change the report to make it appear as if the victim was responsible for causing his own injuries.

The indictment alleges Gordon then prepared a different report that stated the water was only "lukewarm," and that the victim had peeled off his own skin. Macarthur said she signed this report and never saw the original report she filed.

When police originally investigated the injury, detectives also said Gordon had thrown away the kettle that had been used in the incident, saying it was "rusty."

Anam Chara closed its 1795 Quince Ave. facility in July, with officials citing a lack of financial resources and manpower.

Anam Chara reached a compliance agreement with the state and the condition of founder Peggy Quinn not being involved in day-to-day operations was added shortly after that.

The indictment says that after Gordon took over as administrator, she alsofailed to report two incidents in 2012 involving an incident of physical abuse between residents and misappropriation of resident property.

Staff also claimed that the home took on residents with more and more complicated medical conditions, but they were not given additional training, with some of the staff members looking up information via "sources such as YouTube," according to the indictment.

When reached by phone, Quinn said she had not yet seen the indictment against Anam Chara.

Gordon could not be reached for comment. Officials with the Boulder County District Attorney's Office could not confirm whether or not Gordon alreadyhad been taken into custody.
